This dark history is comparable to that of the Jade Emperor and Buddha.
Sun Zizai himself felt very ashamed. He stepped forward and respectfully said, "Please punish me, Master."
"Enough, enough!" Bodhi waved his hand. "Today you have gained your freedom, which is a day of great joy. To speak of punishing you now would be unreasonable. Besides, you have cultivated to this level as a puppet. Your talent and temperament are enough to shock the Three Realms. Having a disciple like you is not a loss for me. It's just that Six Ears, alas, as always, his temperament is impetuous and he is not up to the task."
Sun Zizai asked in surprise, "Master, did you know all along that my junior brother's fate would end today?"
Bodhi shook his head: "With his madness, how can he not cause trouble? Look at us, even if we become quasi-saints, we are not as arrogant as him. At the Taiyi realm, he dares to act lawlessly. Even if no one plots against him, how can he guarantee his own safety?"
Sun Zizai nodded and sighed, saying, "Junior Brother has stayed in the mortal realm for too long and has become accustomed to the law of the jungle among demons. As a result, his Daoist nature has not developed. I hope that after today, he can realize his mistake and return to the right path."
Bodhi gently shook his head: "Difficult, difficult, difficult. With six ears, one can hear well and thus know the affairs of the world. Precisely because of this, the cruelty of the world is like a brand on one's heart, hard to forget. With such a state of mind, it is extremely difficult to find peace."
Sun Zizai was surprised: "Junior Brother's temper is so volatile, is it because of his talent?"
“Of course.” Bodhi nodded, his gaze falling on Sun Zizai. “Your tranquil nature is also largely due to your background.”
Earth Immortal.
Just as the Six-Eared Macaque was filled with fear, two figures appeared in the void.
Tang Xuanzang quickly stepped forward to pay his respects: "Tang Xuanzang greets the Immortal."
When Pigsy, Sandy, and the White Dragon Horse saw this, they understood and quickly stepped forward.
"We have met the Immortal."
Zhang Taixuan smiled and said, "Rise."
Their gaze fell upon Xuanzang.
"I never expected that Xuanzang of this world would also have such a personality, daring to tamper with the true scriptures and compile his own version of the story."
Tang Xuanzang was somewhat embarrassed.
Although cultivators believe in the principle of "the winner takes all" and "the loser is nothing."
Tampering with the sacred scriptures is something that other cultivators would be very proud of.
However, being told this by such a supreme being still made Tang Xuanzang feel somewhat embarrassed.
Ultimately, Xuanzang was born in the Tang Dynasty and was bound by its moral code from a young age, so he had a high sense of morality.
"Someone wants to see you, and you might have a lot to talk about."
With a thought, a portal appeared.
The next moment, a white-clad man with an unrestrained and arrogant aura stepped out.
Upon seeing this, Tang Xuanzang frowned immediately: "You have the aura of a golden cicada on you! Who are you?"
As far as he knew, the rare insect cicada had long since disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, there was actually an enlightened being right in front of me.
"I am Jin Chanzi," Jin Chanzi said with a smile, "but I am not from your world. Fellow Daoist, how about we have a chat?"
Tang Xuanzang nodded slightly: "Alright."
Tang Sanzang put away his three incarnations and left directly with Jin Chanzi.
"My disciples, we'll meet again in the Tang Dynasty."
Pigsy and Sandy were speechless.
Unexpectedly, the master found an opportunity to run away, leaving them behind at the scene.
The one before us is a terrifying being who caused Mount Ling to collapse and even the Buddha to perish.
Aren't you worried that your apprentice might be casually tossed aside by this person?
Their feelings were complicated, but Zhang Taixuan's thoughts were not on them; his gaze fell on the dejected Liu Er.
Liu Er was somewhat afraid, yet also felt very wronged.
Unexpectedly, they were outmaneuvered and even had people come knocking on their door.
He looked at Sun Wukong and bared his teeth.
Sun Wukong snorted coldly: "Master, this brat is so arrogant, I might as well send him to his death."
"Great Sage, please wait! Spare my junior brother's life!"
Just then, a beam of light descended, revealing itself on the spot—it was Sun Zizai.
Sun Wukong was speechless: "Could it be that you've developed feelings for him? You know, he's schemed against you quite a few times."
Sun Zizai shook his head: "Didn't I also not sincerely befriend anyone? Why blame my junior brother for scheming? Now that I have regained my freedom and been reborn, I might as well give my junior brother a chance and let him have a chance to start over."
Liu Er originally thought he was going to die (thanks to Zhao Hao).
Unexpectedly, my fussy senior brother appeared.
As always, my senior brother showed no trace of the aura of a great demon, nor the arrogance of a deity; he was humble, peaceful, and compassionate.
He used to despise it.
At this moment, however, he felt that Sun Zizai's image had become more imposing.
As memories flashed through his mind, tears welled up in his eyes.
"So my senior brother had advised me on this so many times before!"
"If I had truly believed my senior brother's words back then, and remained content in the Taiyi Realm, living a carefree life, would he have gone on the Journey to the West himself and replaced me now?"
"When we first met, my senior brother didn't tell me the secret, but he made me choose many times! I was afraid that he would take away my benefits, so I didn't appreciate his good intentions."
At this moment, he realized that his senior brother had only concealed the truth from beginning to end, and had not been scheming.
However, due to his position, he did not reveal the truth.
As for myself, I have always been obsessed with the utilitarian aspects of Journey to the West, and have remained stubbornly unenlightened.

"Wrong, wrong!"
As if struck by lightning, Liu Er's mind suddenly became clear.
At this moment, he forgot all about Buddhist merits and the fortune of the Journey to the West.
Memories of the past flashed through my mind.
He recalled everything his senior brother had done.
The advice he received in the past, and the kindness shown to him, deeply moved him.
Are demons a species where the strong prey on the weak?
Yes.
However, he had already broken free from that mindset long ago.
He attained the highest level of enlightenment and had long since transcended this limitation.
All that followed was simply a result of being too focused on personal gain and binding oneself in front of others.
Six-eared Buddha sat cross-legged, with a halo of light shining behind his head.
Buddha, the enlightened one.
To attain Buddhahood, one must undergo arduous practice, enduring countless eons to cultivate immeasurable supernatural powers.
Even with sudden enlightenment, one can still become a Buddha.
Even more so, the latter is stronger than the former.
Those who are enlightened are the most authentic practitioners in Buddhism.
At this moment, a beam of Buddha's light illuminated the three realms, bringing a glimmer of hope back to the once desolate Mount Ling.
"You actually succeeded, Six Ears, not bad at all." Sun Wukong laughed heartily. "You were able to grasp your own life force and understand your past life. Amazing. You truly deserve to be a being in Journey to the West who can fight against me, Old Sun."
Sun Zizai was overjoyed.
"Congratulations, junior brother, on attaining the Victorious Fighting Buddha status once again."
Liu Er pinched the meditation mudra, opened his eyes, and there was no longer any confusion in them, only calmness and peace.
"I must thank my senior brother for his constant guidance. Otherwise, how could Liu Er have achieved what he has today!"
Liu Er stood up and walked closer.
Suddenly, she reached out and gently embraced Sun Zizai.
"Senior brother, there has been a misunderstanding all these years, which has put you in a difficult position."
For five hundred years, his senior brother visited him every year.
As a result, his wariness only increased with the number of times his senior brother visited him, and he worried that his senior brother would steal the good things from the Journey to the West.
Looking back now, my senior brother was truly helpless.
It was clearly a foolish act that led to his death, but he couldn't say it outright. He could only remind himself that he was an incorrigible fool, which was truly laughable.
"I've seen the Immortal."
